Last night, I learned a good phrase from a movie. I am going to paraphrase it – It takes 20% of your talent and 80% of your heart to be a boxer.

It is so true that when we put our heart into doing something, it is the most effective motivation. You sure can have the talent for something, but if you don’t like doing it, it is not going to go anywhere further. For instance, you have a talent of learning and playing piano, but if you don’t like playing piano, you are not going to become a talented pianist. That’s being said, having the talent is a great thing, but without your heart, it doesn’t fulfill the dream.

Your heart is the place that lets you and everyone know when it does speak up. I call it a central of passions. Your interests, dreams, ambitions, hobbies, favorites, and love, etc. are stored in that location. Therefore, follow what your heart wants and not what your head wants. You could be born with talents, but in order to implement them, you need a passion at heart.

Today, I have learned a new English word that will be ingrained in my mind from now on. The word is mulligan. According to the online definition, “A mulligan, in a game, happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a certain move or action.”

Isn’t it a great word when we apply this to our practical life? Sometimes, we give up on people too quick – our friends, family, and lovers. To me, everyone deserves a second chance, you agree? If you do, then look around your life and people around you – who you were so mad at at that time that you shut them off, don’t talk to anymore, no forgiveness whatsoever. Give them a mulligan!

In the meantime, don’t also forget to give yourself a mulligan.

Before I go to bed tonight, I just want to let you guys know that sometimes in life, there are dillema that we cannot decide. There are risks that we are afraid to take because we are not sure about the future. There's no guarantee that whichever way we choose to go would meet our expectations. However, it's life. 

Sometimes, a man's gotta do what he's gotta do. That includes women too :-)

Tonight, before I go to bed, I would like to share with you a quote from a Chinese author. She once said “I ask those of you to promise me that, you must never give up your tendered and sensitive heart. Being able to feel touched is a very precious mood, and being able to love and to be loved is a joyful springhead.”

Sweet dreams!

Decorating your own apartment or your own room is a great way to express yourself to others. Personally, I have been enjoying this kind of self-expression with my new apartment. I finally uploaded all my new apartment's photos today. To view them, you can simply click on the link below. Before I call it a night, I would like to give you a quote by John Turturro: "My interest lies in my self-expression - what's inside of me - not what I'm in." Good night!

These two shirts photos were taken during my Utah trip. I kept forgetting to post them. I think that the words on those shirts really mean something to life and self-image. They are the words of the day for you tonight before I go to bed.

Before I go to bed tonight, I would like to share a good expression with you. It is onwards and upwards! It means something that you say in order to encourage someone to forget an unpleasant experience or failure and to think about the future instead (website source).

Life is not going to stay the same all the time, and that is the fun part of it – unpredictable. Therefore, cheer up and embrace the beauty of life. Onwards and upwards!

Good night!
